Sport Signage are looking for a CAD Technician / Technical CAD Designer to join our Design team.

The Technical/CAD Designer develops the technical information required to turn creative and spatial concepts into buildable, installable and costable event solutions.

The role reports to the Head of Design and has strong functional interfaces with Procurement/Estimating and Operations.

It supports technical drawings, build methodology, material/quantity understanding and practical problem solving without owning commercial pricing or event delivery.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

1. Technical Development
   • Develop concepts into practical technical drawings and details suitable for fabrication, build and installation.
   • Clarify dimensions, interfaces, fixing concepts, assembly sequence and relevant material information.
   • Identify technical gaps or contradictions before release.
2. CAD Production & Drawing Control
   • Produce accurate, legible drawings using agreed standards and templates.
   • Maintain drawing numbers, revision status, issue dates and clear file organisation.
   • Ensure superseded information is controlled and current information is accessible.
3. Buildability & Methodology
   • Review designs for practical build, transport, installation, dismantling and reuse considerations.
   • Support development of practical methodologies with Operations and workstream leads.
   • Raise concerns where design intent creates avoidable risk, complexity or cost.
4. Estimating & Procurement Support
   • Provide technical information that helps Estimating understand materials, quantities, labour drivers, plant and methodology.
   • Support Procurement with specifications, dimensions and technical clarification for supplier enquiries.
   • Do not set commercial rates, margins or final pricing.
5. Operations Interface
   • Work with Operations Managers, Installation Managers and Off-Track Build Leads to resolve technical questions before and during events.
   • Support site-driven clarifications or revisions while maintaining controlled approval/revision processes.
   • Capture field feedback for future drawing improvements.
6. Design Team Integration
   • Work closely with graphic, 3D/spatial and motion colleagues where technical delivery affects design output.
   • Protect design intent while identifying practical constraints.
   • Escalate unresolved trade-offs to the Head of Design.
7. Technical Quality & Checking
   • Check dimensions, references, interfaces and completeness before issue.
   • Use peer/senior review for higher-risk or complex technical information as defined by the Head of Design.
   • Correct drawing errors promptly and communicate revisions to affected teams.
8. Site Measurement & Verification
   • Support surveys, measurements and verification where required for technically sensitive work.
   • Clearly distinguish verified dimensions from assumptions and identify information requiring confirmation.
9. Standard Details & Reuse
   • Develop reusable technical details, templates and lessons where appropriate.
   • Support more consistent methods across repeated F1 scopes without assuming every venue is identical.
10. Continuous Improvement
    • Review technical errors, rework, installation feedback and supplier issues.
    • Improve standards, drawing content and handovers based on recurring lessons.

THE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE YOU NEED:

• Professional CAD/technical design experience in signage, events, fabrication, temporary structures, interiors/exhibitions or a comparable environment.
• Strong 2D technical drawing capability; relevant 3D CAD capability is advantageous.
• Practical understanding of materials, fabrication, assembly and installation.
• Experience producing information for both workshop/supplier and site teams.
• Motorsport/event experience is advantageous.
• CAD and technical drawing.
• Dimensioning, detailing and revision control.
• Buildability and installation methodology.
• Materials/fabrication awareness.
• Clear technical communication.
• Problem solving and cross-functional working.
